    • Synopsis
    • Henry Sinclair returns to his family's horse wrangling ranch when he hears that his frail grandmother is afflicted with dementia and about to die. He then flashes back to when he was 10 years old and forgets to lock the horse pen gate, allowing for a stampede that tramples his grandfather to death. Or at least this is what he believes it happened…
      When Henry finds in the barn boxes with photos of himself and his brother at a young age, he realizes that his grandfather was a pedophile and child trafficker. He also becomes aware that his grandmother loathed her husband after finding out that he molested their daughter and grandkids. The truth is that when her husband got trampled by the horses, she smothered him to death.
      When she dies, Henry re¬turns home and finds a dark website used to sell chil¬dren. He finds the location where children are bid on like a piece of property and frees the children while getting the upper hand against their captors. He then learns that his chief inspector is the leader of this ring of pedophiles, and worse than that, he is his own father! Eventually, Henry overcomes his past, closes his emotional wounds and re¬opens the family ranch. This time to heal children and horses.
